UNEAC Asia Papers

UNEAC Asia Papers, a refereed electronic journal of research on Asia, was published regularly from 1999 until 2008. The journal will be relaunched next year with a special issue on Australia's relations with international institutions in the region. The Asia Pacific Centre will be holding a symposium on the subject in March of next year. A call for papers will be issued in due course. Anyone interested in this symposium is invited to contact Dr Ken Fraser, Project Officer of the UNE-APC.
